Penn State Gaffney also a Starter?

The Penn State Baseball program is coming off a 1-2 weekend when they were able to grab a game from the University of North Carolina. Scott Gaffney has been a pleasant surprise for the program by giving them two solid outings in the early part of the year. These starts were the first for him since he pitched in Little League so this has come as a surprise to everyone that he is succeeding as a pitcher. He is also the starting shortstop when he is not on the mound.
